Though i agree it could be fun at first, conspiracies are legit dangerous. People are so desperate for meaning, 17% of Americans believe the government is lead by a kabaal of satanic lizard people eating babies and shit like that.
My mom is deep into the rabbit hole of nonsense, and it genuinely consumes her. Nearly all her friends abandoned her, she almost lost her job, and that's only reinforcing these convictions. If something like January 6th was happening in my country, I bet you, she'd be there. The time conspiracies were harmless fun are gone. They ruin people's lives.

That's very interesting, actually. Because manufacturers of self-driving cars say they're only drive-assisted, not autonomous. To dodge liability for their cars causing accidents. If the car is without a steering wheel and therefore fully autonomous, and the car runs somebody over, is the car gonna go to jail?

I've seen the vlc addon that can play torrents but doesn't that kill them? You're not seeding anything by just streaming and leaving when the movie is over. Idk, seems like a shitty thing to do

Well, there are some significant negatives to a powerbank solution.

• Charging from a powerbank takes a long time. Swapping a battery for fully charged one can be done in half a minute.
• You need to make sure the cables stay connected. How many times did you have phone on charge in a backpack for an hour, only to find out it wasn't charging because the connection got a little loose?
• Each charge cycle reduces lifetime of the battery. If you have two batteries to swap between, you effectively double the overall lifetime.

And of course, when (not if) the battery dies, you can replace it at your leisure, instead of searching for a repair shop in the case of phone being glued shut. Battery is pretty much the only perishable component in your phone. If you keep your phone safe from falling or drowning, it can work just fine for decades. But the battery will need to be replaced one day, regardless of how careful you are. You also wouldn't need to pay the extra service fee if you can open the phone and put the new battery in yourself.

Honestly I always felt kinda awkward after getting one, knowing somebody paid real money for a stupid icon. What a waste. Good riddance, I say.

Not quite true. I have a cheapo Doogee and there is 0 bloat. Super happy with the little brick.

Depends on company. I know from experience Samsung and Xiaomi are obnoxious with ads and unwanted software so I just avoid their stuff.

Honestly, I never buy a phone without an audio jack and sd card.

Thickness of your phone is now dictated by cameras. Because of focal lengths and what not, they need to be a certain size, that's why they're always with an overhang.

Pretty much all Androids I have taken apart were Phillips head screws. iPhones have like 5 slightly different types in each phone, it's nonsense

It's mentioned in this thread here that there is the xCover model series which have user replaceable batteries still. The 6 pro was released just last year So much for manufacturers having to figure things out from ground up bollocks
